Fluid forum view allows members only to get right to the meat of this community; the topics. You can toggle between your preferred forum view just below to the left on the main forum entrance. You will see three icons. Try them out and see what you prefer.
Fluid view allows you, if you are a signed up member, to see the newest topic posts in either all forums (select none or all) or in just your favorite forums (select the ones you want to see when you come to Fishing Minnesota). It keeps and in real time with respect to Topic posts and lets YOU SELECT YOUR FAVORITE FORUMS. It can make things fun and easy. This is especially true for less experienced visitors raised on social media. If you, as a members want more specific topics, you can even select a single forum to view.
Let us take a look at fluid view in action. We will then break it down and explain how it works in more detail.
The video shows the topic list and the forum filter box. As you can see, it is easy to change the topic list by changing the selected forums. This view replaces the traditional list of categories and forums.
Of course, members only can change the view to better suit your way of browsing.
You will notice a “grid” option. We have moved the grid forum theme setting into the main forum settings. This makes it an option for members only to choose.
This screenshot also shows the removal of the forum breadcrumb in fluid view mode. Fluid view remembers your last forum selection so you don’t lose your place when you go back to the listing.
The benefit of this feature is easy to see. It removes a potential barrier of entry for members only. It puts the spotlight on topics themselves, and not the hierarchical forum structure. You as a member will enjoy viewing many forums at once and switching between them without leaving the page.
We hope that fluid view, the new functionality is an asset that you enjoy .

My favorite is Z Mann Flappin' Crawz because of their durability. You can pull a claw more than a foot away from the body before it starts to rip. Very durable craw for skipping jigs or fishing lakes with lots of little bass/hungry sunfish.

I bought ten packs of Big Bite Baits Limited Edition Swimming Craw as it was on sale for $1.50/pack. I'm not a fan and ended up giving away my last five packs.

I do love Berkely Chigger Craws (and berkley crazy legs chigger craw) in the 4" as the fish seem to hold onto them better. However, they aren't very durable so I only use them for tournaments/league night.

Most of the time, in clear water, I want a fast fall, so it's usually a Chigger Craw or Strike King KVD Chunk, or the chunks from Christopherson's - depending on which color I happen to need. Every company out there makes these types of baits more or less, so I'm not that choosy.

For a slower fall, I do like the Rage Craws or Chunks, or something wider/bulkier like a beaver-type bait.

Chigger Craws and Rage Chunks get 90% of my use, brush hawgs the other 10%. Ive found that the hitch series trailer keepers don't save me many trailers. I rarely lose my trailer all together, what happens to me is I lose a claw or both

Try the Zmann flappin craws. I typically cut a 1/2" or so off to shorten them up. I wrote "cut" because you can't pinch them off like you can with all of the other trailers. Seriously, the plastic that they use is amazingly durable. Try to pinch the tail off, you will be amazed. It is also a soft plastic that floats.

Fuel injected so no. If it were carbed they'd come off and be cleaned too. The throttle bodies were cleaned though. The exhaust valves were cleaned earlier. Got to like Amazon for prices and vendors that ship right away. Reeds are in then noticed when filling with antifreeze my coolant cap didn't fit. The neck warped from heat off the muffler. I'll have to true that up and probably put in a heat deflector. Then stabil in the tank and into the enclosed trailer for season.

Yep nice to win a couple on the road, nice 5 point cushion on the Stars and Kings who are fighting for that last playoff spot. Still need to keep getting points and we should be fine even with an average record.
